Somali Teenager Arrested in Shooting of Woman Police Constable
One of three suspects in the murder of a woman police officer 10 days ago was being questioned by detectives last night after being arrested in connection with an unrelated alleged crime. Yusuf Jama, 19, was one of a group of up to seven Somalis seized by police in a raid on a terrace house in the Saltley area of Birmingham on Saturday. He was taken to a police station in the West Midlands where a sergeant recognised him as one of the men named and pictured the previous day over the killing of WPc Sharon Beshenivsky. Mr Jama's identity was established through fingerprints before he was transferred to West Yorkshire at 3am yesterday to be questioned by specialist officers. Police are still hunting his brother Mustaf Jama, 25, and Muzzaker Imtiaz Shah, 24, a British Asian, whom they have described as very dangerous and asked for the public to report any sightings immediately. All three were believed to have been living in London. WPc Beshenivwky, 38, was gunned down as she and her colleague WPc Teresa Milburn, 37, went to investigate a robbery at a travel agency in Bradford city centre. Witnesses to the arrest said that between four and eight people of Somali appearance were taken from the three-bedroom house in Bowyer Road, Saltley. Those arrested were handcuffed and their heads were covered by blankets as police vehicles blocked the quiet one-way street. Posted by: Pappy 2005-11-28 |
